Objective: To investigate the antimotion sickness effects of ginsenosides combined with dexamethasone in rats. Methods: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal saline, scopolamine-treated, ginsenosides-treated, dexamethasone-treated and ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated groups. There were 10 rats in each group. The rats in each group were fed with corresponding ingredients respectively, and then the rats were exposed to abnormal acceleration for one hour. The motion sickness index, the level of kaolin consumption and the course and time of spontaneous activity were observed. Results: The motion sickness index and the level of kaolin consumption of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group were significantly lower than those in normal saline group. And the course and time of spontaneous activity of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group. The level of body weight increment of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group was significantly higher than that in dexamethasone-treated group. Conclusion: Ginsenosides combined with dexamethasone can significantly increase tolerance to acceleration of rats, and the drug combination can decrease side effects of methylprednisolone, such as body weight loss.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of miR-145 on the proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis of a human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT.Methods miR-145 mimics and negative control (NC) mimics were chemically synthesized and then transiently transfected into HaCaT cells respectively.After additional culture for different durations,real-time PCR was performed to determine the expression level of miR-145,MTS assay to estimate cell proliferation,and flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis and cycle.Luciferase assay,real-time PCR and Western blot were conducted to determine whether NRAS was the target gene of miR-145.Results The miR-145 expression level in miR-145 mimic-transfected cells increased by 85.00 ± 1.21 folds compared with NC mimic-transfected cells (t =115.90,P < 0.0001).The transfection with miR-145 mimics significantly inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells (F =8.76,P =0.008),and the inhibitory effect significantly varied with the duration (24-96 hours) of culture after transfection,with no interaction effect between the transfection with miR-145 mimics and culture duation (F =1.21,P =0.18).Compared with NC mimic-transfected cells,those transfected with miR-145 mimics showed a significant increase in the proportion of early apoptotic cells (18.9% ± 4.1% vs.4.3% ± 1.2%,t =7.126,P < 0.01),late apoptotic cells (9.3% ± 2.3% vs.3.6% ± 1.6%,t =12.38,P < 0.01),G1-phase cells (85.83% ± 5.2% vs.62.08% ± 6.23%,t =11.78,P =0.007),but a significant decrease in the percentage of G2-phase cells (6.26% ± 1.2% vs.19.36% ± 3.45%,t =7.610,P =0.017) and S-phase cells (7.91% ± 1.3% vs.18.56% ± 5.23%,t =7.230,P=0.019).As luciferase assay showed,luciferase activity was significantly lower in HaCaT cells cotransfected with miR-145 mimics and a recombinant luciferase reporter vector psi-CHECK2-NRAS-wild carrying the wild-type 3'UTR of NRAS than in those cotransfected with NC mimics and the vector psi-CHECK2-NRAS-wild (t =11.09,P =0.008),but similar between cells cotransfected with miR-145 mimics and a recombinant luciferase reporter vector psi-CHECK2-NRAS-mut carrying the mutant-type 3'UTR of NRAS and those cotransfected with NC mimics and the vector psi-CHECK2-NRAS-mut (P > 0.05).Real-time PCR and Western blot revealed that the overexpression of miR-145 mimics had no significant effect on NRAS mRNA expression (P > 0.05),but significantly inhibited NRAS protein expression (1.52 ± 0.07 vs.0.20 ± 0.02,t =28.43,P< 0.01).Conclusion miR-145 might inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of HaCaT cells by influencing cell cycle via NRAS.

Objective To investigate the effect of state anxiety and trait anxiety on attentional orienting of heroin addicts. Methods State anxiety and trait anxiety was measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Forty heroin ad?dicts (36 males and 4 females) and 40 healthy controls (36 males and 4 females) participated in cue-target task. Atten?tional orienting and reorienting were measured in valid cue trials and invalid cue trails. Results Heroin addicts had sig?nificantly greater state anxiety [(42.65 ± 6.58) vs. (36.60 ± 8.91)] and trait anxiety [(44.43 ± 7.67) vs. (37.00 ± 8.63)] values than controls (P<0.05). The state anxiety was significantly correlated with orientation RT difference (r=-0.259, P=0.020) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.333, P=0.003) in heroin addicts. Trait anxiety was also significantly cor?related with orientation RT difference (r=-0.248, P=0.026) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.356, P=0.001) in heroin addicts. Conclusion Heroin addicts have significantly greater anxiety than healthy controls. Both their state anxiety and trait anxiety are associated with attentional orienting and disengaging/reorienting.
